Sòm 21

1 Pou direktè koral la; Yon sòm David O SENYÈ, nan fòs Ou, Wa a va fè kè kontan. Nan delivrans Ou, ki gran rejwisans li va gen!

For the music director. A psalm of David. The king celebrates your strength, Lord; he is so happy you made him victorious!

2 Ou te bay li dezi a kè li, ni Ou pa t refize demand a lèv li yo.

You gave him everything he wanted; you didn't hold anything back he asked for.

3 Paske Ou te vin rankontre Li avèk benediksyon de tout bon bagay. Ou te mete yon kouwòn sou tèt li.

You welcomed him on his return with special blessings; you placed a crown of pure gold on his head.

4 Li te mande Ou lavi e Ou te bay li. Yon vi ki long ak jou k ap dire jis pou tout tan.

He asked you to give him a good life, and you gave him a long life, forever and ever.

5 Glwa li gran nan sali pa Ou. Onè ak majeste Ou te mete sou li.

Your victories brought him great glory; you granted him splendor and majesty.

6 Paske Ou te fè li beni pase tout moun, jis pou tout tan; Ou te fè li plen ak lajwa avèk kè kontan nan prezans Ou.

You give him blessings forever. He is full of joy because you are with him.

7 Paske wa a mete konfyans li nan SENYÈ a. Epi akoz lanmou dous a Pi Wo a, Li p ap ebranle menm.

For the king trusts in the Lord; he stands firm because of the trustworthy love of the Most High.

8 Men ou va dekouvri tout lènmi ou yo. Men dwat ou va jwenn (sila) ki rayi ou yo.

You, the king, will find and capture all your enemies; you will seize everyone who hates you.

9 Ou va fè yo tankou yon founo k ap brile nan tan kòlè ou. SENYÈ a va vale yo nèt nan kòlè Li, epi dife va devore yo.

When you appear on the scene you will burn them up like in a furnace; the Lord in his anger will destroy them, burning them up with fire.

10 Ou va detwi posterite pa yo soti sou latè, epi desandan yo ap disparèt pami fis a lòm yo.

You will wipe out their children from the earth, their descendants from humankind.

11 Malgre yo te anvizaje mal kont Ou, e te fòme yon konplo, yo p ap reyisi.

Though they plot evil against you, their malicious schemes will not succeed.

12 Paske Ou va fè yo vire do yo. Ou va pwente banza sou figi yo ak bon kontwòl.

They will turn and run away when they see your arrows fired at them.

13 Ke Ou leve wo, O SENYÈ, ak tout fòs Ou! Nou va chante e bay lwanj a pwisans Ou.

Rise up, Lord, for you are strong! We will sing and praise your power!
